Every object on disk is assigned a file number. This number is
mapped to a disk pathname. Look in store.c for storeSwapFullPath()
or something like that. The file number is written to the swap
log.

The FAQ answers this.

We're working on it, but not very quickly. See the 1.2 distribution
for the most recent version.
